T248R: Checking and Restoring the Wheel’s Center Value

Product: T248R

This article explains how to correct the center value of the T248R if the wheel does not fully return to the center position.

1. How to check the T248R wheel’s center position

Connect your T248R, let it calibrate, manually adjust the wheel so that it is physically centered, and then open a game or a program as described below.

If you are using a PlayStation®5 or PlayStation®4 console, open the in‑game menu that allows you to check or adjust the steering axis.

On PC, open My Thrustmaster Panel to test the T248R outside the game.

2. To check and restore the center value of the T248R:

- On PC: in My Thrustmaster Panel, you must set the T248R’s rotation angle to 900°.

- On PlayStation console: the T248R’s rotation angle is set to 900° by default.

To set the rotation angle in My Thrustmaster Panel (PC), go to SETTINGS, then under ROTATION ANGLE select the rotation angle of 900°.

And to check the wheel’s center value, go to TESTING. The wheel axis can be found in the AXIS section.

If the wheel’s physical axis and the software axis do not match, you can reconfigure the center value.

3. Reconfigure the T248R center value

The centering procedure must be performed with no applications left open:

- On PlayStation consoles, close your game and remain on the menu screen.

- On PC, close your game, My Thrustmaster Panel, or any other application, and remain on the desktop.

Unplug the T248R, reconnect it to the USB port on the PC or console, and let it fully complete its calibration. The LCD screen should display: T248R.

1- Turn the wheel counter‑clockwise until it reaches the stop.

2- Turn the wheel clockwise until it reaches the stop.

3- Bring the wheel back exactly to the center.

To save:

On the T248R wheel, press and hold the SHARE‑CREATE, MODE, and OPTIONS buttons simultaneously for at least 5 seconds.

Then unplug the T248R and reconnect it. Let it fully calibrate again. Open your game (on PlayStation) or My Thrustmaster Panel (on PC) and check the saved center value.

You are ready to play.
